C or C++ For KOS Development

Post by distantclouds »

Hey there! I am new to developing for the DC (and this forum for that matter) and I was wondering which is better to learn before going in so I am better prepared for KOS.

C or C++ will serve you well (after all, C++ is mostly just a superset of C and can easily interact with stuff that's written in C, like KOS itself).

That said, for a beginner, I'd recommend learning C over C++. C++ has some nice features to it, but overall for a beginner it'd just be a lot more to take in that won't really help you all that much to start.
